By Jim RyanSplaSh Contributor

Turning a house into a home takes more than a few coats of fresh paint and some new carpet; it takes hard work and a lot of love. That recipe for success is apropos for Lakeside Church and its new location in Liberty Lake.

Pastor Don Calkins recently moved the church a few blocks into its new home at 23129 E. Mission Ave., and he and his staff and volunteers are working feverishly to have it ready for a “Grand Opening” ser-vice Oct. 21. He also likes the versatility of having the facility’s location in the heart of Liberty Lake.

“Our heart isn’t just to be a church, al-though that is one of the things we do, but our heart is to impact our community,” he said. “Obviously, we want to impact our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ, but when you think of Liberty Lake you ask what the community needs.”

Calkins sees part of that need as a lack of space for Liberty Lake businesses and organizations to hold events, meeting and programs, enabling Lakeside to potentially meet a need as an event center.

Calkins is a native of Whidbey Island but grew up in Portland, Ore. He recalls feeling a calling to ministry as early as age 9, and he said he would invite his friends over to share the Gospel — and his grandmother’s homemade cookies.

“I would tell them about the Gospel, and afterwards they would get their cookies,” he laughed. “Now, obviously, the only rea-son they came over was for the cookies, but

If you could meet one person in historyOther than Jesus, it would be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor who died in 1945 in a Nazi prison camp

Loving people, meeting needs

that’s what really propelled me. I grew up in a Christian family and so just being part of a church, and youth programs and missions, I felt I should go into a ministry.”

Calkins entered Portland Bible College right out of high school, where he met his wife, Joy, who is a native of Spokane. They were married in 1977 and moved to Spo-kane a year later. When he first arrived in the Lilac City, he didn’t immediately utilize his theology degree. Instead, he took several positions in the private sector, including as a Spokane Transit Authority driver for a dozen years.

The Calkins spent years in lay minis-try, including at Prairie Avenue Christian Center in Coeur d’Alene, where they as-sisted with the church’s music and worship program.

By Josh JohnsonSplaSh Staff WritEr

Frank L. Boyle, the black hat-wearing, motorcycle-riding maverick who was the longest-serving commissioner in the his-tory of the Liberty Lake Sewer and Water

District, died late last week in his Liberty Lake home. He was 72.

Friends and LLS-WD colleagues re-membered Boyle for his dedication to the community and its namesake lake, as well as for an uncon-ventional style that

had him tackling work and play alike with tenacity — and often at open throttle.

“I don’t think you ever had to doubt where he stood on an issue, you know what I’m saying?” LLSWD General Man-ager F. Lee Mellish said. “He was pretty vo-cal about how he felt about different issues, so you never had to guess. He always was willing to fight to protect the integrity of the district. He really believed in this dis-trict and the things that it did.”

At the same time, Mellish said, Boyle was a big-hearted friend always willing to pitch in, including one night when the dis-trict was replacing the pumps at the Inlet lift station. Though it wasn’t part of a com-missioner’s job description, Mellish said Boyle stuck with the crews replacing the pumps overnight as one thing after anoth-er went awry. After an all-nighter, the sew-age began to rise with the morning rush of toilet and shower usage, and the crew was on “pins and needles” with the pump still not operational.

“Frank Boyle went down to McDonald’s and got breakfast for everyone,” Mellish recalled, adding that disaster was barely averted.

Motorcycles and mailboxesBoyle was born in Seattle on Feb. 16,

1940. Over the years, his pastimes evolved from racing dirt bikes, to racing outboard hydroplanes to riding motorcycles. Ac-cidents were a common occurrence in all these pursuits. In a 2005 interview, he told The Splash that among his biker friends, he earned the nickname “Plank” after a wreck on a wooden bridge resulted in scrapes, bruises and plenty of splinters.

Boyle attended the Sturgis, S.D., motor-cycle rally multiple times. While on his bike, an easygoing nature came out, said friend Pat Ragan, a veteran of several mo-torcycle trips with Boyle.

“He was not a confrontational type gen-tleman at all,” Ragan said. “He kind of en-joyed things and took them as they came.”

Ragan, who lives in Otis Orchards, said he met Boyle later in life, after the com-missioner began attending Valley Real Life church in Greenacres and joined a Chris-tian bikers group. Boyle is listed as a mem-ber of Independent Christian Bikers on that organization’s website.

Boyle moved to Liberty Lake in the late 1980s. He spent 38 years working for the U.S. Postal Service, many of them as a manager. He retired in 1998.

LLSWD serviceBoyle first took office as a LLSWD

commissioner in January 1992 and never looked back. His 20-plus years in that role easily surpasses that of the second longest-tenured member, original commissioner Art “Skip” Toreson, who served from 1973 to 1989.

“Frank and Skip strategized a lot for the benefit of the lake,” said Karen Toreson, Skip’s wife. “And Frank would kid Skip, ‘I’m catching ya. I’m going to surpass you.’ … He was a very smart man, a very smart man. He could be criticized for how he presented himself, but he had the biggest heart going.”

Boyle was nearly half-way through a fourth six-year commissioner term when he died. According to Washington state law, the district will go through an appli-cation process, with the remaining two commissioners selecting a replacement until the next election cycle the district participates in, which is in 2013. The re-placement would then have the option to run to fill the remainder of Boyle’s term through 2015, and other candidates could file to do the same.

During Boyle’s tenure, he helped expand the sewer plant, passed resolutions ban-ning various phosphorus-containing prod-ucts, challenged the city of Liberty Lake’s exploration of assuming control of the dis-trict and fought for lake preservation. He also served as chairman of the board sever-al years and as president of the Washington Association of Sewer and Water Districts.

His length of service and sharp mind earned him a reputation of being the LLS-WD historian.

“I’ll tell you what, if you mentioned anything to him about the history of the district, he knew it down to the day and the year,” Mellish said. “Bringing that to the commission was probably pretty good. We didn’t find ourselves getting trapped or involved in issues more than once.”

Harley Halverson, who served with Boyle for more than 14 years as a fellow commissioner before resigning in Febru-ary 2007, agreed.

“He was such an asset that I said more than once that if Frank ever left, I was go-ing to resign,” Halverson said. “He remem-bered every decision that had been made,

and he knew the history of what had been going on. He was really a pillar in terms of keeping us on track and making decisions that were consistent with decisions we had made in the past. He was invaluable.”

Tom Agnew, who has served as an LLS-WD commissioner since 2000, said the board will likely look at memorializing Boyle in the near future.

“He contributed so much to the dis-trict and was just a true blue Liberty Lake citizen of the highest caliber,” Agnew said. “Frankly, I think it was his commitment to the community that kept him alive these past few years.”

Giving backAlong with a body that survived its

share of hobby-related injuries, Boyle suf-fered from the effects of diabetes.

“I felt so bad for him, and the diabetes was really taking a toll on him,” said Evie Reeves, a longtime neighbor who spent the past few weeks walking the homebound Boyle’s beloved dog, Buddy. “He was a very smart man, and I think he did a wonderful job for the sewer district.”

Boyle also spoke publicly about an al-cohol addiction that included a stint in an Oregon rehabilitation facility in 2006, us-ing the topic in recent years to reach out to others facing a familiar struggle.

He shared his testimony several times, attended AA meeting regularly and began serving faithfully as an usher at Valley Real Life church in Greenacres. It was there that he graduated from the Celebrate Recovery program and became one the ministry’s leaders.

“Step 12 is to go do it for somebody else, and he was certainly committed to doing that,” said VRL Executive Pastor Stuart Vogelman, who leads the Celebrate Re-covery program at the church. “… Because of his background as a biker, he had the ability to communicate and relate to some individuals that others might not be able to. That kind of made him unique.”

Mellish marveled at how Boyle had “a wide range of friends and acquaintances he dealt with over a broad socio-economic spectrum. He made friends with anyone.”

Boyle is survived by his 98-year-old mother, Frances H. Boyle of Seattle; two brothers, Stanley Boyle of Seattle and Ozzie Edward Boyle of Edmonds; and three stepchildren, Colleen Stocking of Everett, Stacy Irwin of Bellevue and Steph-anie Cook of Tacoma.

A memorial service is being planned for late October at Valley Real Life, and a formal obituary will be released when details are finalized. Boyle often attended City Council meetings, and when his pass-ing was announced at Tuesday’s meeting, Council members asked to be kept ap-prised of funeral arrangements.

“For all of his rough exterior, he was so balanced in his approach to what needed to be done for the whole community,” longtime friend Beth Cocchiarella said. “He had such an incredible memory of the decisions that had been made in the sewer district, and they were made for the whole community, and they were to benefit everyone. When some of us would get too polarized, he was the one that brought everybody back to what the purpose of the sewer district was.”

Within three to four years after moving to Prairie in 2000, and after several conver-sations with the pastor about forming his own church, Calkins was backed by Prairie to plant a nondenominational church in the Liberty Lake community.

Lakeside Church held its first services on Easter Sunday 2005 at Liberty Lake Church, 704 S. Garry Road, which was meeting in Telect at the time. There were about 20 people in attendance. Almost a year later, Lakeside moved to a small office warehouse facility at 23424 E. Knox St.

“The owner was very kind and gracious to us, and we were there for about six years before moving here last month,” he said of the new location.

A member of Lake-side Church for the past three years, longtime friend Grayden Jones has watched Calkins grow and develop as a pastor.

“Even though Don is about five months younger than me, I’ve always kind of looked up to him as my spiritual leader,” Jones said.

As both a person and a pastor, Jones sees Calkins as a true leader who would never ask some-one to do something he would not do himself.

“Plus, he’s gregari-ous and funny and witty,” Jones said. “The creative and performing arts are important to him, and it’s really part of the vision of Lakeside Ministries to provide a place for the expression of the gifts and talents God has given to people. He carries that vision in part because that is how he is made; he enjoys the music and the drama.”

Jones continued that even those who at-tend Lakeside Church on a regular basis might not know how talented Calkins is because he has been so busy growing the church to keep up with the music he would like to compose.

“He focuses on people first. The music and performing and creative arts are sec-

ond,” he said. “Lakeside is a more contem-porary church where we are more relevant than we are reverent. It isn’t your grandma’s church. The only time we sing hymns is when we are over at the Guardian Angel on Sunday afternoon. Personally, I think with the exception of the big events done by the Friends of the Pavilion Park, what happens every Sunday at Lakeside Church is the most exciting thing in town. If I was in my 20s or 30s, Lakeside is where I would be.”

Jones also pointed out that Calkins is very honest, and he doesn’t pretend to be perfect — something Calkins himself freely refer-ences.

“We almost didn’t make it very early in our marriage,” Calkins said of he and his wife, Joy, who leads women’s ministry at Lakeside. “And that is quite a testimony to what God has done in our lives. It shaped

us for who we are to-day. What it did for me is that when I was very young, I was cocky and very confident. What it did was to break me down as a young man from thinking I was go-ing to be the holy man, the righteous man. I re-alized how human I was and how human Joy and I were, and it caused a complete change in how we perceived life. Our broken world actually caused us to have a unit-ed world.”

Because of their past marital problems, they prayed and knew that

when they started Lakeside Church, one of the things they wanted to center on was to minister to marriages.

When he talked about what he gets out of serving as pastor of Lakeside Church, Calkins said that eternity is so important that it drives and propels him to do what he does each day.

“The satisfaction in the short-term is see-ing lives changed and seeing people come to the faith,” he said. “You see marriages re-stored and families coming together. Those are great, I love that. The other satisfaction is helping people develop their passion to serve the Lord with the gifts God has given them.”

Council weighs options to curb smoking in parksBy Josh JohnsonSplaSh Staff WritEr

Whether or not clearing the air at city parks was a task that should be enforced by law was the topic Tuesday of a Liberty Lake City Council workshop discussion.

A draft of an ordinance that would im-pose a $25 fine for smoking in city parks received a mixed response. The ordi-nance was forwarded for discussion by the finance committee in part to address concerns surrounding some of the more crowded events in the city, such as Friends of Pavillion Park concerts, where cigarette smoke could potentially waft amongst a somewhat captive audience, said Mayor Pro Tem Odin Langford. Langford added that a resolution already on the books only addresses specific areas of the park, such as near the playground and pavilion. In addition, the resolution proclaiming the “tobacco-free zones” is a rule as opposed to a law patrolled by the police depart-ment, Police Chief Brian Asmus said.

“It would be great if we could control or regulate lots of behaviors, whether it’s smoking at public parks or maybe only buying smaller soft drinks at McDonald’s — there are lots of things that governments do to curb and try to force behaviors,” Council Member Josh Beckett said. “Some of them I like, some of them I don’t. On this particular issue, we may have the option or

authority to pass a rule like this, but to me it feels like a stretch of the role of what our city government should be doing.”

Council Member Lori Olander said the ordinance seemed like it would be difficult to enforce. Police Chief Brian Asmus said while any ordinance that passes is techni-cally enforceable, it does “become a matter of us setting our priorities as a department for enforcement, so patrolling Pavillion Park for smoking violators is probably not going to be on the top of our priority list for public safety issues in the community.”

Asmus suggested the Council consider putting something in place just for special events, when the second-hand smoke is more difficult to avoid. Council members instructed city staff to reshape the ordi-nance into a resolution or into something more geared toward highly populated events. City Administrator Katy Allen tar-geted the Nov. 6 meeting to consider the issue further.

In other business: • Asmus said the new 45 mph signs in-

creasing the speed limit along Country Vista Drive between Henry Road and Spo-kane Valley city limits are expected to be in place Monday. The Council approved the speed change at its Sept. 18 meeting.

• The City Council approved Mayor Steve Peterson’s two appointments to the Planning Commission. Gary Green was approved as a voting member and Jared Von Tobel as an adjunct member.

• Allen said that while Tuesday’s agenda was light, the Council’s next meeting Oct. 16 would be meaty, including the mayor’s budget presentation and a look at the capi-tal facilities plan.

Supporters of the Homestead Act held the belief that the availability of free or cheap land, under the right terms, would ease the burden of the lack of land in states along the eastern U.S. It would promote the settlement of the west and help form new states. This, in turn, would generate federal income to help run the Republic, while providing opportunity to any citizen willing to take up farming.

From 1830 to 1860, several homestead proposals were brought before Congress. These bills lacked the votes to pass largely because the southern states saw the west as a place to expand their plantations op-erated with slave labor. With the seces-sion of the southern states in 1861, the Homestead Act easily passed, and Abra-ham Lincoln signed it into law in May 1862. The passage of this law was met with great optimism, especially for those who had the courage and willingness to do hard work.

A few significant events along with the Homestead Act made Liberty Lake and the surrounding area favorable for settle-ment over the next two decades. These included the Indian Peace Treaties of 1858, the completion of the Mullan Road in 1862 and the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1863 to 1866 which encouraged the de-velopments of the nation’s railroads.

The requirements of the Homestead Act were few but sometimes daunting, especially in remote areas. Getting to the Homestead site was a challenge in itself. The Mullan Road facilitated access to this area from both directions. Pioneers traveling on the Oregon Trail could con-nect to the Mullan Road in Walla Walla, Wash.; whereas those coming by way of the Missouri River could connect at Fort Benton, Mont. By 1883, you could travel to this region on the Northern Pacific Railroad.

A homesteader needed only to be the head of a family or at least 21 years of age to claim a 160-acre parcel of land. Po-tential homesteaders came for many dif-ferent reasons and from many different states and countries. If you were not al-ready a citizen, only Declaration of Inten-tion to become one was required to make a claim. Immigrants, including Danes, Norwegians and Germans, comprised a notable percentage of the Liberty Lake area’s homesteaders. They immigrated from countries including Canada, Den-mark, Norway, Germany and Austria. After they lived on the land, made cer-tain improvements, farmed for five years and attained citizenship (if they were not already), homesteaders were eligible to prove their claim.

To start the homesteading process,

Homestead Act factored into early LL settlement

a person had to file their intentions at the nearest land office. The land agent checked the plot of land in question for previous ownership claims. If the land was available, a filing fee of $10 was paid to temporarily claim the land along with a $2 commission to the agent. The home-steader then returned to the land to begin improvements, which included building a home and cultivating a portion of the land. At the end of the process, the per-son had to prove and be verified by two credible witnesses that all requirements had been met. If successful, a $6 fee was paid with the final form, and the home-steader received a patent for the land.

The home was usually one of the first improvements made. It needed to be a minimum size and have at least one win-dow. These dwellings could be construct-ed out of a variety of materials from sod to logs. In the Inland Empire, there was a ready supply of trees so most of the early homes were built out of logs. As sawmills developed to meet the demands of the railroads and growing communities, cut lumber became the building material of choice.

The Homestead Act was a ”one size fits all” law. A farm of 160 acres in an area with favorable soil composition, climate and topography was adequate to sus-

tain a family. However, in areas of little precipitation or poor soil conditions (or both), this proved much more difficult. Because of the variety of landscapes and soil conditions, Spokane and Kootenai Counties showed in a microcosm the in-equities of the Homestead Act. Consider the differences if you were homesteading in the Palouse located in south Spokane and Kootenai counties versus the for-ested hills surrounding Liberty Lake. The Homestead Act required land to be cul-tivated for the purpose of raising crops. The forested areas needed to be cleared of the trees and stumps first. In the Palouse, a plow would move through the timber-free and rock-free soil like a hot knife through butter.

During the 19th century, irrigation of crops was not practical on a large-scale basis, because it would take too much hu-man labor. Farmers had to rely on what nature supplied. Our region annually averages 16.67 inches of precipitation, which is less than 45 percent of what the state of Ohio averages. This difference has a dramatic impact on the yield the crops produce. Because of this, it was a real challenge for many of the homesteaders in this region to live off the land. Ad-vances in dry-land farming in the 1870s and 1880s helped in this regard, but not

enough for the sandy, rocky soil around Liberty Lake.

To survive, most homesteaders in our area needed additional sources of in-come. Along with working their home-steads, many worked additional jobs. Some worked in lumber mills provid-ing railroad ties to the expanding rail-roads. Others taught school, delivered supplies or worked for the government performing land surveys or carrying mail. Homesteading was both physically and emotionally difficult. About half the homesteading claims were successful na-tionally. But those who did survive pro-vided much of the spirit and inspiration upon which our great country was built.

Scoreboard

By Mike vlahovichSplaSh Contributor

Fourth-year Central Valley cross country coach Kieran Ma-honey has embraced a philosophy to assure long-term success.

“I’m building a program Mead-style,” he said, one patterned af-ter his mentor, former Panthers coach Pat Tyson, who dominated the Greater Spokane League and state before moving to Gonzaga University.

Like Mead’s era, Mahoney has built CV through numbers with some 80 runners on this year’s team.

The Bears are 4-1, the lone loss to state Goliath North Central, with races remaining against rival University Oct. 10 and fellow 4A state aspirant Lewis and Clark a week later.

Last year, the Bears finished fifth in the 4A meet, their first state ap-

pearance since winning top-four team trophies in 2006 and 2007.

“It’s just about building the ex-citement, to set the expectations and chase the great programs,” Mahoney said following last week’s win over the Panthers. “It’s a step-by-step process. We finished fifth in state last year, and the guys have another whole year of training.”

Mahoney was a four-year state qualifier himself, placing 11th as a junior and the next year contrib-uting to a state team champion-ship for Cheney High School in 1989.

He coached at Mead and in Port Angeles before arriving at CV.

Last week, all seven varsity runners – Logan Giese, Spencer Jensen, Colton Pegram, Matt Hommel, Corey Hunter, Briton Demars and Austin Seely – fin-ished one behind the other, sepa-rated by less than a minute. Giese

is the only senior, and Hunter, one of the highest state finishers last year, is just returning to action fol-lowing injury. Jensen, Pegram and Briton are sophomores.

Tyson comes out twice a year to inspire the runners.

“He’s still my mentor,” Mahoney said.

Bears, Titans — ’nuff saidNo incentive is needed when

Central Valley football returns to action at home Friday. Its foe, after all, is University, hoping to play spoiler against the surprising Bears who are part of a three-way tie for second place in the Greater Spokane League.

With scarcely a returning start-er and some early season jerry-rigging, it was unsure how the Bears would fare. They are in the thick of things again following a win over Lewis and Clark, stun-

ning in its 31-0 dominance.Now 4-1, they are in the middle

of a race for two 4A post-season berths. Gonzaga Prep leads the GSL with a 5-0 record. CV, Mead and Ferris share second. The sea-son-opening loss to the Saxons narrows the playoff margin for error considerably with wins over the Bullpups and Panthers in up-coming games a likely necessity.

Quarterback Adam Cham-berlain returned and rushed and passed for 66 yards each against LC to complement Brandon Mc-Clung’s 181-yard, three rushing touchdown effort.

Quick hits Central Valley volleyball en-

tered the week 4-1 and tied with Mt. Spokane and University for second place. The Bears lost to the Wildcats and beat the Titans, with unbeaten Mead looming. CV has been led year-long by hitter Taylor

CV building cross county program, ‘Mead-style’Butters, setter Tia Pau and libero Erika Bowden. … Skye Sanders, CV’s top state girls cross country returnee, was back on the course just six months after knee liga-ment surgery. She finished behind top-four placers Brielle Crump, Alexandria Moore, Courtney Owens and Kayla Boyer, who finished just 35 seconds apart in beating Mead. … Girls soccer en-tered the week tied for first at 4-0 behind scoring leaders Savannah Hoekstra and sophomore Kasey Ames. … A 6-5 loss to rival Uni-versity was the first for CV slow-pitch softball. League play ends this week with playoffs looming.

In an open contest among all of WNPA’s 130 member news-papers, The Splash received both first and third place in the category of “community ser-vice” during a special luncheon presentation. The awards hon-ored The Splash’s “12 Dollars of Christmas” drive for Blessings Under the Bridge last Decem-ber and its 2011 support and

fundraising for the community’s inaugural Relay for Life, respec-tively.

In presenting the honors, WNPA Executive Director Bill Will said he couldn’t remember a time when one newspaper had received two of the three places given in the annual community service contest.

“These were incredibly special honors as I know how much they reflect the heart of our team,” Splash Publisher Josh Johnson said. “I always hoped that one day we could place in this cat-egory because it so exemplifies what a community newspaper should be about.”

The honors were among nine total awards The Splash received at the association’s 125th annual convention.

Kelly Moore, a former report-er for The Splash, received four awards, including first place for best sports feature on a Pop War-ner football team. She also re-ceived two second place awards (best business story and person-ality profile) and one third place (best general feature story).

Graphics Editor Sarah Burk received three awards: first place for the best use of clip art in an ad and two third place honors (best single ad promoting sale or event and most original idea).

Splash honored for community service

Also during the convention, Johnson was voted to a full term as a member of the WNPA Board of Trustees. He was origi-nally appointed to the position

in May by WNPA Board Presi-dent Jana Stoner, publisher of the Northern Kittitas County Tribune in Cle Elum.
